As Kit Shannon defends a down and outer named Mousy Malloy on the charge of attempted murder, she also takes on the case of a woman whose young son is tragically killed by a Los Angeles trolley. Was the death of little Sammy Franklin an accident? Or could it have been avoided?
The trolley case pits Kit against a powerful coalition of railroad men and politicians—all of whom seem to have something to hide ... a secret Kit must uncover in order to win.
As these two cases move forward, it becomes clear there is some sort of connection—one that could blow the lid off a conspiracy of corruption. And a web of powerful people who will stop at nothing to keep Kit from finding the truth.
Another historical, romantic legal thriller
